Starting with the awakened Poison God: I choose the Master Thief.

"Do you really think that the term 'peak race' is just empty talk? Let me tell you, even I would be instantly killed in front of an adult dragon. In addition, their numbers are so small that the entire human race knows very little about them."

"However, there is one place where you might be able to try your luck, but before that..." Bors turned to look at Mina.

"Little girl, your grandfather probably has something to discuss with this boy. Once it's over, you can take him there. I won't concern myself with anything else after that."

After saying that, Bors quickly left, leaving everyone with his back turned.

Just as Chu Ci was about to raise his hand to say something, he suddenly felt a pulling sensation in his left arm.

"Huh? Why are you grabbing me?"

Mina glanced at him but didn't say anything.

Suddenly, a golden light flashed in the eyes of the three holy knights, and in an instant, their figures disappeared.

When Chu Ci opened his eyes again, he had arrived at the top floor library of the Holy See, where Krend was still sitting at his desk.

"Your Excellency/Grandpa Bishop".

"Hmm? You've arrived."

Closing the ancient book, Krend stood up, his gaze immediately focusing on Chu Ci, as if he were looking at a rare treasure.

However, this disgusted Chu Ci so much that he spoke up without any hesitation.

"Um... old man, I'm not interested in that kind of thing."

puff!

A silvery laugh rang out from the girl beside her. Although the three holy knights behind her did not make a sound, judging from their slightly distorted mouths, they were probably trying hard to suppress their laughter.

"You brat! I... never mind, you three can go down first."

"Yes, Your Excellency."

The three holy knights turned and left.

"You, come with me."

As the mechanism turned, the hidden door of the bookcase was opened again.

"Chu Ci, it seems that Grandpa values ​​you a lot. I have never seen anyone make that kind of joke and not be punished by Grandpa. Even if it were me, I would definitely get a scolding."

The girl covered her mouth and whispered in Chu Ci's ear. Before Chu Ci could speak, Krend's urging voice came.

"Hey, what are you two saying? Hurry up and follow me."

"Oh, here it comes!"

The teleportation light flashed again, and the three of them were already standing on the ground. The surrounding light crystals emitted a dazzling light, even brighter than when they were here last time.

Krend didn't say anything and continued walking forward, with the two people behind him quickly following.

During this process, Chu Ci noticed that Mina's gaze showed no surprise, indicating that she must have known about the existence of this forbidden area all along. The three of them remained silent the entire way.

Finally, at the end of the passage, the sight before him stunned Chu Ci, and even Mina beside him covered her mouth, her eyes flashing with surprise.

The once enormous six-pointed star sealing array had shrunk to only a few meters in size.

"Let's go," Krend reminded them. The three of them quickly arrived at the edge of the sealing array. At this moment, the golden magic circle in his hand flashed slightly, and the golden sealing array disappeared again, revealing the scene inside.

The originally scarlet mist had long since condensed into a thick, blood-red sphere about one meter in diameter.

At this moment, Krend's voice rang out again. He turned to look at Chu Ci and spoke slowly.

"A few hours ago, this blood sphere, also known as the Divine Restriction, still showed signs of activity, but now, all the tentacles have disappeared, and it's completely lifeless. Kid, can you tell me what you did to it?"

"Wait, wait, Grandpa, do you mean all of these belong to Chu Ciqian?" Mina asked incredulously, and soon she saw Krend nod.

Chu Ci remained silent, carefully sensing the presence of the divine poison. Although it was very faint, it was unmistakably right before his eyes.

"No wonder I forgot there was still a trace of divine poison here. Has my senses weakened to this extent? But the problem is, even the divine poison on Su Nan's body, which crossed the Divine Realm and Earth, I could detect. Why couldn't I detect this one..."

"Kid? Kid!?"

Ah!

Krend's shout brought him back to his senses.

"What's wrong? Is something bothering you? Do you need me to treat you?"

???

I was just thinking about something, is it really necessary to make such a fuss? Bishop Krend, this kind of behavior won't do, you'll easily be mistaken for someone's dog.

"I'm fine, I just wanted to confirm my suspicions, is that alright, Bishop Krend?"

Without replying, Krend simply led Mina to stand aside.

Chu Ci nodded, then looked back at Shen Ji inside.

A skillful hand... empty-handed.

boom!

The next second, the red sphere suddenly exploded, turning into a scarlet mist that instantly spread outwards. Dozens of deformed tentacles emerged from the mist, enough to give anyone who saw them a psychological trauma.

Seeing this, Krend was about to intervene to stabilize the sealing array, but the tentacles retracted abruptly after only a few impacts. The mist condensed again into a blood sphere that remained motionless, but this time, its size seemed to have decreased.

"really."

Chu Ci sensed the divine poison; the feeling was exceptionally clear, as if he had received a new signal.

"Even the reborn Chosen One couldn't get rid of this divine poison, yet we managed to eliminate a portion of it. It's truly troublesome."

However, he did not expect that this action would make Krend look at him even more intensely.

"Hey grandpa, wipe the drool off your mouth." Mina looked at him with disgust.

"Ah! Oh! Yes, yes, yes."

Chu Ci walked over at this moment, shook his head and said.

"Regarding the previous question, I cannot disclose any information, and this force does not appear to be able to kill it."

"It's okay, it's okay. You don't have to say it if you don't want to. Even if we can't kill Shenji, its power has obviously weakened a lot. As long as it's sealed, it will be extremely difficult for it to recover. It seems that it will take at least a hundred years to recover to its previous state."

Krend's face was full of smiles, and it seemed that the bishop was very satisfied with Chu Ci's performance.

The three returned to the library, and during that time, Krend's smile never stopped. Not only that, he kept chatting with Chu Ci about this and that, even though his attitude had been so bad before.

"Chu Ci Holy Son, what you need to do now is to protect yourself as much as possible and grow up quickly! I will personally send someone to stay by your side to protect your safety."

What? What's this old man up to? Is he pretending to protect me, but actually trying to monitor me?

Chu Ci was about to refuse when Krend interrupted her.

"Hey! I know what you're thinking. It's normal for a disciple of Bors to have such thoughts. I've always felt that the old guy has some kind of paranoia, always guarding against this and that. Don't worry, I sent people just for your safety. If you're really worried, well... Mina, you and the three of them can protect Holy Son Chu Ci together."

Huh? No way?

Mina was stunned when she heard the news.

"But you still want to..."

"Oh, you mean prayer to gather the power of faith? That thing was originally made to stabilize the seal. I know you've been trying to help me, but now the divine power has almost lost its activity, and the seal is much more stable than before. In the future, I will be able to personally preside over the prayer when I have more free time."

"Besides, don't you still have some things you want to accomplish?"
